Today we are remembering all those who lost their lives in World War 1 and 100 years since the war ended. Those brave men and women fought in battles I can't even begin to imagine and they deserve our respect.
Last year the stunning poppies that were at the Tower of London in the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red art exhibition were on tour and the Poppy Wave installation was in Plymouth. I ventured out with my camera to capture this stunning and poignant display. So here's one of the photos in the series I took.
As an ex-member of The Royal Navy, I'm glad I served my country and did my bit, I have the utmost respect for all members of our armed forces, past and present and the demanding job they do.

On Veterans Day, we express our deepest gratitude to these heroes, for they have not only served in uniform but continue to inspire us with their strength, resilience, and unwavering love for our country.
This photo is my recreation of the famous V-J Day in Times Square photo. Cla Jones and I worked for a few hours getting the pose right. She had the idea better thought out than I did. Then just as I was going to start adjusting the WL, my BD crashed. Thankfully I got a "test pic" in just before.
Anyway, this photo and others will be on display at the 17th Annual SL Veteran’s Tribute for 2023. The tribute will be open from November 1st through November 15th!

V-J Day in Times Square is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays a U.S. Navy sailor embracing and kissing a total stranger[1]—a dental assistant—on Victory over Japan Day ("V-J Day")[2] in New York City's Times Square on August 14, 1945. The photograph was published a week later in Life magazine, among many photographs of celebrations around the United States that were presented in a 12-page section entitled "Victory Celebrations".

Unfortunately this year, I'm working weekends so couldn't make it, but on Friday evening I ventured up to The Hoe for sunset and got a few shots of the static helicopter displays they had ready for the next day.
